I like to grab images of subjects related to theatre and theatres. I have a growing collection, some of which you can find in my Theatres set on Dramagirl’s Flickr page. I tag all of these public photographs with a pretty liberal Creative Commons licence. It’s a good thing to share these things around. A

Actually I’ve thought the theme I’ve been using for some months now looked squeezy on the page. Cutline does it for me. It’s

I’d been feeling guilty about the dozens of digital images I had lurking in iPhoto and my tardiness in getting them out there for sharing as I’d promised. Truth is, I was looking for an app that would make putting a slideshow together quick and easy.
Continue reading ...Well this was something I hadn’t thought of doing. A good idea is always worth ‘borrowing’ so I pinched the idea from the ever-stimulating Stephen Downes’ OLDaily e-letter this morning. He’s put together his own favourite photos of 2007. I’ve done the same. They say an image is worth a 1000 words, so here are

Today was a cracker of a start to Create World 2007, even if the interactive playroom isn’t q-u-i-t-e available yet. Oh yes, it’s always the usually teeny techy glitches that spoil the party. Paul Draper’s

I’m prepping for another couple of lectures in a theatre history course I share with a colleague. I’m itching to accommodate the new Keynote audio feature, but think I’ll stick with Garageband to produce the podcast. I’ve written

The SiQP 2007 Festival has been a resounding success, so much so that the committee decided to put the 2008 Festival on sale immediately to build on the success of this one. Not sure that people will buy this far out; more

I’ve also been taking dozens (hundreds?) of photographs with the new Nikon D-40. I’m liking Derek Story’s style and substance on the podcast The Digital Story and the fun stuff they talk about in the Photojojo newsletter. My curiosity piqued,
Continue reading ...I can’t believe this. After being as diligent as I have with the blogging, there I go–almost an entire month without. Ah, but what a month! A glorious week on the east coast of southern Mexico (Azul Resort) with the family for a wedding, and a week in Honolulu for a conference, and hanging out
Continue reading ...I didn’t believe I could wind down as fast as I have in the past couple of days. It’s Day 2 of the month off, and I’m energised, engaged, and having f-u-n. And what I’m playing at is reading and learning-new software and how to drive the new Nikon D40, a sweet camera if ever
